61. Tasers are part of the threat matrix
their real threat when in used of actually killing somebody are VERY LOW, and trust me lower, much lower than a bullet... in fact it is up there with anaphilaxis from a bee sting... which is BLOODY LOW, and why they are called less than lethal and no longer non lethal.

As to this tool being in the hands of people with less training, depends, who trains them. Some of these security people are trained by the Sherifs... some of them are not... that should also be part of a review of Policies and Procedures.

I don't who trains them, and neither do you.

What I do know is that conversations do not start in screams. There is more to this story than the tape shows, and that usually is the case in any of these cases unless yuo have a vehicle mounted police camera on a squad car.

What I know is the case has to be reviewed

What I kow is that if they did something wrong, unlike cops, there is a lawsuit in there and trust me, it will be used as an option. There may even be criminal charges too.

What I know is that the tape I saw does not tell me the whole story

I WANT THE CASE REVIEWED and if the security officers did something wrong, I want them fined, fired et al. But I also know that I will not jump to conclusions and that you truly SHOULD use your right to go to your local police department, and ASK to witness the training of officers and to go on a couple ride alongs

Perhaps after you do that, you will realize that they are not the big bad boogey man you seem to think they are
